Fire performance varies by grade. Standard PU foam is combustible, but fire-retardant and UL-listed grades are available depending on application requirements.

Yes. RGH laminate PU foam with a range of pressure-sensitive adhesives.

No. Because it has an open, interconnected cell structure, it allows air and moisture to pass through. It is ideal for ventilation and acoustic damping, but not for watertight sealing.

Open cell PU foam is widely used for cushioning, acoustic control, ventilation, filtration, and protective packaging due to its soft, breathable, and flexible structure.

PVC foam is produced in a range of densities—from soft, highly conformable grades to firmer structural variants—and can be supplied in multiple thicknesses depending on sealing or cushioning requirements. As converters, we can slit, laminate, die-cut, and supply custom-shaped parts to meet precise specifications.

PVC foam typically performs reliably across moderate temperature ranges and provides good resistance to oils, fuels, and many industrial chemicals. However, specific temperature and chemical tolerances depend on foam density and grade, so material selection should be application-driven.

Thicker bonding tapes offer:

• Gap filling and compensation for surface irregularities
• Allowance for differential thermal expansion between disimilar materials
• Even stress distribution over the bond area
• Noise and vibration damping
• A clean look with no visible screws or rivets
• Weather and corrosion resistance
• Simplified application over mechanical fixings

NB: Refer to 3M Data sheets for more information

No special tools are needed for most applications. A clean ‘lint free’ cloth, roller, and some pressure are usually enough. For industrial applications, 3M also offers application tools and automated systems to make bonding even faster and more consistent.

Yes. 3M™ VHB™ Tapes are designed for indoor and outdoor environments, resisting moisture, UV, and temperature extremes. Different grades are available — for example:

• GPH series for high heat (up to 230°C short-term).
• LSE series for low surface energy plastics like PP or TPO.
• 4910 Transparent series for glass and clear plastics.

Here’s a quick guide:

• Clean both surfaces to be bonded
• Apply the tape evenly without stretching or trapping air bubbles.
• Roll it down firmly with about 2 kg of pressure per cm² (a firm rub down with a dense rubber roller) to ensure full contact.
• After joining the parts, initial ‘handling strength’ is normally achieved in 20 – 60 mins with full strength resulting in approx 72 hours at 15oC or above

NB – Please refer to 3M Product Data sheets for full application guidelines.

Proper surface preparation is key to a strong bond. Follow these simple steps:

1. Clean the surface using VHB Surface Cleaner 50:50 mix of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and water
2. If dirt, oil, or past adhesive residue needs removing, use 3M™ Industrial Cleaner to remove the contaminent and then make a final wipe with 3M VHB Surface Cleaner (Very important)
3. Some tricky surfaces, may benefit from a primer.

NB – Always let the surface dry before applying the tape.

Unlike standard foam tapes, 3M™ VHB™ Tape is made entirely of adhesive, not just coated on the surface. Its viscoelastic structure allows it to flow into surface textures and maintain strong, flexible bonds — even between materials like metal, glass, and plastic. It can also absorb stress and vibration, helping to create, attractive long-lasting joints by replacing unsightly screws, rivets and heavy welds.

RGH can supply these materials in various roll widths (wide or narrow), vary roll lengths or provide customised shapes (ie: finished die cut parts) to customer specifications; we can also laminate these materials to third party materials prior to converting into the desired shape.

Please refer to RGH Możliwości page or make an enquiry.

Yes, 3M Thin Bonding Tapes have been used for automotive interiors and for outside environments; they are typically acrylic based adhesives which can resist UV, solvents, humidity and high and low temperatures. Its important to consider all aspects of any given application so please contact us should you’d further guidance on product selection.

A double coated tape has a ‘carrier’ which can be made of tissue, polyester, PP or paper with a thin coating of adhesive on both sides; This ‘carrier’ enables the tape to be handled and processed easily; however, bond strength and temperature performance can be limited by the type of carrier.

For ultimate bond performance Adhesive Transfer Tapes, which have no carrier are just a thin film of pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA); as the tape has no ‘carrier’ the adhesive ‘flows’ better into the surface whilst also typically achieving higher temperature performance.

RGH are happy to give guidance on which is most suitable for any given application.

Thin tapes (0.05mm to 0.3mm) are typically used when one or both bonded surfaces is flexible. This is because these tapes are pressure sensitive so good rub down pressure is needed to ensure a good bond is achieved.

If both bonded surfaces are rigid, thin tapes may still be considered for small component parts; For larger areas or a longer bond line, thicker tapes (0.4mm to 2.3mm thick) will provide better surface to surface contact and therefore optimise bond performance.

3M Thin Bonding Tapes adhere well to metals, glass, composites, painted surfaces, ABS, PC, and acrylics.

Some versions have been modified to work on low surface energy (LSE) plastics such as Polypropylene and Polyethylene or powder coated paints.

The use of 3M Primers can also be used to enhance performance.
